The Mustard Seed: A children’s play about Mary Jones and her Bible

A children’s story/play about Mary Jones, a Welsh girl of Georgian times who saved for six long years and walked 25 miles barefoot to obtain a rare copy of the Bible in Welsh. Her amazing endeavour saw the British & Foreign Bible Society launched in 1804. (Now known simply as Bible Society.) This edition of The Mustard Seed was first published to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the King James Bible. It is a one-act/4 scenes play for age group 8-11 years and is especially designed as a children’s presentation within an act of worship. The play can also be read as a story.
